The mint mark is usually very prominent, even on worn coins. Put the area under a very bright light and or a microscope (or some kind of...
You still need to show photos of both sides, because first you have to determine if your coin is MS (and not a proof), judging from the reverse it...
Not a missing clad. Sorry. When it has partial or total missing clad, it will be on one side, the copper will be shiny, and I think the edge will...
halvessearcher Yes I found a silver dime on the shelf. I assume they tried 4 or 5 times and it kept spitting it out (wrong metal) and they just...
I'm not 100% it is an S. Which would be a terrible shame.
I have read that if they are crisp they are worth as much as $3 each. But I find that hard to believe. I just spend them. No fancy serial numbers...
Already posted the same thing. Sorry for skimming.
I don't think there are any real OBW. They buy old wrappers and put their coins in there and jack up the price 10-20X. If you really had an OBW...
I might go VF details, cleaned. And rim damage. Scratches on the reverse. It is an 1807. $100-150? But then you are stuck trying to sell it later.
Maybe just some plain photos. Good finds. The 58 and 59 can often be found in good condition as they were saved because of the design change.
I see that. That makes sense.
I knew there was a story behind it. TY This sounds familiar.
The ones in the best condition. Incredibly rare coins, varieties, errors. Key dates. Semi key dates. You have to compare your cost and selling the...
I was thinking stain or toning. But the improper alloy mix mentioned by P and G would create a woody on a nickel which is what this looks like. I...
I think there is a small cud also. Below the A and to the right. 2nd photo. In the first photo it's at the top.
Green is usually verdigris as copper oxidizes green. (Statue of Liberty) But I am sure someone will know.
You couldn't mint an 1851 over an 1881 (except a restrike) as that would require a time machine. But I am sure there is a logical story, as I...
See I think there is a difference between the 92 CAM and 92-D CAM. The 92-D there are only 15 known. I think the 92 P is higher than that. IDK,...
He said the FG was far away. Looks normal to me but this is not my area. [ATTACH]
I did it again posted in the wrong thread, I thought I was over here. What what I wanted to post was a 1992-D CLOSE AM that a gentleman found...
